List of countries

This list served quite some people but someone else did a better job since.

Go to https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list for a list in your language and format.

List of nationalities

I've also compiled a list of nationalities

        uri = URI.parse(request.url)
        uri.path = ''
        uri.query = nil
        uri.port = (uri.scheme == 'https' ? 443 : 80)
        uri.to_s

Vagrant Setup

This tutorial guides you through creating your first Vagrant project.

We start with a generic Ubuntu VM, and use the Chef provisioning tool to:

• install packages for vim, git
• create user accounts, as specified in included JSON config files
• install specified user dotfiles (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc) from a git repository

Afterwards, we'll see how easy it is to package our newly provisioned VM

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
